Ecotourism planning based on the definition of criteria for the development potential of an ecotourism zone

This article presents a methodology for determining the eco-tourism potential by geographical data on the example of the Amankutan region. The availability of natural resources are the main criteria for determining the suitability of the region for the development of ecotourism. Geospatial data (quality of natural resources and their quantity used as tourist objects in Amankutan) was used for determination of potential of development of ecotourism zones and coefficient of attractiveness of the region. This methodology can be used in determining the eco-tourism potential of any region with similar geographical conditions.
